Chapter 27 26. Willing to die for Chu Anjun (please give monthly votes to recommend various collections~)
Huang Yueying, who was designing the engraving and printing assembly line with Li Mu, Sun Sui and others in the workshop, stopped the pen in her hand.
He straightened up, looked at the smiling Gan Ning, and asked in surprise, "Brother is back?"
"Congratulations to Mr. Chu An!" Gan Ning nodded and cupped his hands jokingly.
"The reward from Xu Du?" Huang Yueying understood.
She knew that Liu Biao sent Chu Zhi to Xudu, but she never thought that it would only take a month for this to happen.
After all, this was two thousand years ago, and communication efficiency was horribly low, so she was a little surprised.
"What else?" Gan Ning was still a little envious. At present, he did not have an official position or title, so he was not as good as his sworn sister.
Huang Yueying nodded, "What about banning the account?"
"There is still some money and land, but the angel from Xudu fell ill after arriving in Xiangyang. Liu Jingzhou is looking for a doctor. As for the emperor's decree, Zhang Wei's chariots and horses will soon enter Zhuangzi."
"My uncle has no expression?"
"I estimate that not only Liu Jingzhou, but also other major aristocratic families will express their opinions." Gan Ning thought for a while and sighed.
Huang Yueying then arched her eyebrows and agreed, "That's right. When the news spreads, these people... should board my pirate ship, which is destined to trap them."
"Pirate ship?"
"Oh, it's just an analogy, brother, don't worry about it." Huang Yueying waved her hand, and then continued to talk to Li Mu and others, "As for the printing technique, the result I want is the part we just discussed. Except for carving, we should reduce the manpower as much as possible.
investment to improve printing efficiency.”
"promise."
"I can't wait."
"I understand, little lady."
Li Mu and his party agreed. They also heard the conversation between the young lady and the strong man just now, and they were even more happy for Huang Yueying.
Then several people looked at each other, put down the things in their hands, bent down and handed over their hands, "Congratulations to Chu Anjun!"
Huang Yueying quickly dodged and said, "Thank you all for your hard work."
"It's not hard."
"Young lady, you are true to your words."
She was not very interested in something like a title. During the Han Dynasty, there were more than 30 cases of women being granted the title of marquis or king in historical records alone.
This is not out of line for her.
However, what she didn't expect was that the emperor would be so generous, and what she didn't expect was that Xu Du's boss Cao would agree.
But when I think about it, it's just an empty title with no real estate. There's nothing to worry about. At least for now, it won't pose a threat to them.
"However, today's emperor does not have the power to seal towns, so... Ah Chu, you can only get a title, but without a seat, the title has no real meaning." Gan Ning added, with envy in his tone, "
But since the founding of the Han dynasty, women who have been granted the title of marquis or king are all from royal families or prominent families... Not to mention, Achu, you are only thirteen years old."
"You have ambitions but not your age." Huang Yueying shook her head, "Brother said, Guard Zhang is coming soon with his people?"
Are you ambitious but not young? Gan Ning was stunned for a moment and quickly understood what he said. He smiled bitterly and replied, "A Chu's words are always so... close to people's hearts." Zhang Huwei brought the emperor's reward and Liu Jingzhou's gift.
, it’s all behind.”
Huang Yueying also smiled and said, "Then let's go home first."
"Achu, you can first see the people you brought for your brother."
"Okay."
So, the two of them left the workshop together.
When she saw the loose group of more than 300 people standing outside the workshop, Huang Yueying glanced at Gan Ning and asked, "Brother only brought this many people?"
"Those who didn't want to come over, I gave my brother travel expenses and were sent away. Those who were willing to follow, even those who were older, I brought along with me."
Gan Ning explained with some embarrassment. He originally had 800 people, but when he heard that he was going to defect to a gentry child, who was still a girl, more than half of them left immediately... The group of people left behind were either
After following him for a long time, there is nowhere to go.
Huang Yueying nodded, looking calmly at those people one by one.
…
"Is this the little girl?"
"This is Chu Zhi's workshop. If we rob it... we will get tens of thousands of gold immediately!"
"What are you talking about? The general is just standing there!"
Seeing Huang Yueying looking at them like this, more than 300 people started talking, and the outside of the workshop became lively.
"Wang Wu, do you want to try brother's knife skills?" A lean man said with an unhappy tone and looked at the person who said he was robbing the workshop.
"Young general, I'm sorry, I was just joking, I can't take it seriously."
"Whether it's a joke or not, if this general hears it again, I will kill you first without the need for my brother to take action!"
…
Huang Yueying listened to the noise and probably knew what these people were thinking. Of course, some of them had loud voices. They said they were discussing, but in fact they were no different than shouting.
She didn't say anything and looked at Gan Ning with a smile.
Gan Ning naturally knew what Huang Yueying meant, and then shouted, "Silence! Form a formation!"
Huang Yueying felt her ears buzzing and thought funnyly, at this time, if you don't have a loud voice, you can't lead troops, right?
When they came to their senses, the more than three hundred people had already formed a square formation. Although the team was still a little shaky, its execution was pretty good.
"Thank you for your hard work for coming all the way!" Huang Yueying shouted crisply. She couldn't speak as loudly as Gan Ning, but she could do it to make these three hundred people hear her clearly.
"Mr. Chu An, you are so polite! We are lucky to have the opportunity to meet Mr. Chu An. Mr. Chu An is only thirteen years old. He changed the paper to a new one and made it more expensive. He was even praised by the emperor and admired by the family. It is admirable!" in the military formation!
, a somewhat lean young general wearing leather armor shouted with his hands raised.
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "You're welcome, but to be honest, you are really lucky."
On the side, Gan Ning agreed in his heart, of course he was lucky, but his brothers didn't think so.
"I am on the 13th of this year. Because of Chu Zhi, I was granted the title Chu Anjun. According to the decree..." Huang Yueying glanced at the carriage and horse that happened to enter the village, "We have already arrived."
…
Zhang Qian had a very hard month, but he got to know Liu Biao several times and was rewarded by the emperor. As soon as he came back, he was named a school captain and could actually lead the army!
Seeing more than 300 people gathered outside the workshop, and seeing the little girl in the distance, I was startled, fearing that the other party was in danger, "One by one, follow me forward!"
Then he pinched the horse's belly and spurred it forward.
When he saw Gan Ning, Zhang Qian didn't look good.
However, he also knew that Gan Xingba was also very brave, and he even knew that Huang Yueying had hired this man from Liu Biao to come to Huangjiazhuangzi as a guard.
The hanging heart was also relieved.
Then I heard Huang Yueying say, "So, you are really lucky. From today on, you have the opportunity to choose your life again!"
"Those over forty and under eighteen, who are physically injured or unwilling to be a guard, can settle down in Huangjiazhuangzi and be assigned a field. From then on, they can rest from sunrise to sunset. They can also work in various workshops and earn money. With some money, I can marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby, and in the future, I can also join the Huang clan and learn from it."
As soon as these words came out, more than 300 people were stunned, and then someone shouted, "Little lady... no, is Chu Anjun serious about what he said?"
Huang Yueying nodded, "Of course it's true."
On the side, Gan Ning sighed. He felt a little guilty for his brothers. He took them away from home, but after so many years, he failed to find a future.
Zhang Qian next to him was also stunned. He did not expect that Huang Yueying would give such generous conditions in order to recruit guards. You know, in real terms, these people are just refugees...
Then he got off his horse, untied the wooden box containing the imperial edict, opened it, and handed it over, "Huang's daughter Yueying made new paper. The emperor was very happy. He was named Chu Anjun. He was given tens of thousands of gold, thousands of acres of fertile land, and jade articles." Ten pieces!”
"My lord, General Zhennan, Mu of Jingzhou, and Marquis Chengwu, have given you three thousand acres of fertile land, jade articles, silk, some ancient books, and twenty fine horses to congratulate Lord Chu An!"
"General Zhennan, herdsman of Jingzhou, Zhang Qian, the colonel under the command of Marquis Chengwu, presented five fine horses to congratulate Lord Chu An!"
In one breath, Zhang Qian explained all the rewards from the emperor, Liu Biao's gifts and his own gifts, as if he was giving support to Huang Yueying.
Since the young lady wants to recruit these people as bodyguards, she can help her. It doesn't matter, at least he can become a captain now and has an inseparable relationship with Huang Yueying.
At this time, the more than three hundred people really understood what kind of backer their general had found.
Although she was a girl, she was rewarded by the emperor and received congratulations from the state pastor... She was also born into a noble family and made new paper, which made Xiangyang paper expensive. She was just a guard and did not have to fight, but she had a foreseeable future. …
They were moved.
"My name is Gan Yong, I am twenty years old, and I would like to serve Lord Chu An!"
"My name is Gan Rui, I am twenty-three years old, and I would like to serve Lord Chu An!"
"My name is Wang Wu, I am thirty years old, and I am willing to drive for Lord Chu An!"
At that moment, three people stood up and announced their names.
Huang Yueying looked at Wang Wu in surprise. This man, standing relatively close to the front, should be the core figure of Gan Ning's men. He was clamoring for robbery just now, but he was not slow to express his stance now.
